"Say His NAME!!!!"

BGC--that's the way it works in the USA now-sad-everything is leaning one way--:facepalm:

I also haven't been an NBA fan, but I do still understand the sentiment. There have been 3 months of protests which have resulted in exactly 0 progress . . . on anything. And so with each new incident frustration grows and there is the sense that more is needed if progress is to be made.

But if they end up resuming play tomorrow - what was the point? You've backed up the playoff schedule by 48 hours and . . . that's it. You've literally accomplished nothing else. That's just "social conscience theatre" then, where you get to pretend like you've done something so you can feel ok about driving back to your mansion in your Maserati.

In that respect, I will give the Lakers and Clippers some credit - they're willing to go to the next level. If all the NBA players walk out and end the season, now you've got something unprecedented that certainly captures everyone's attention. And if they then encourage POC from the other sports to do the same - now you might actually have a movement. Not saying that's what they should do - just saying that if you're going to do something then you should actually DO SOMETHING. Pausing for 36 hours to read prepared statements doesn't accomplish a damn thing.

0 progress?

How many millions (or is it billions) have been removed from local police budgets in the last 100 days?

Despite what your think, NOTHING will be considered enough.

Its a terrorist power play move plain and simple. Once one ridiculous demand is met; another is required!

THIS IS REPERATIONS FOR WHITE AMERICA WE HAVE TO WATCH THESE THUGS HAVING A PEACEFULL PROTEST EVERY NIGHT AND LOOTING STORES

LEBRON JAMES IS BOYCOTTING FOR A CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST THUG WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO

I LIVE IN A RICH WHITE SUBURB NOW SO I DONT HAVE TO SEE ANYMORE NIGERIANS :0074

 

[lowell]

I live 40 miles from where the 5 yr old kid in Wilson was murdered by thug . How about Tessa Majors the Barnard College girl who was robbed and killed by 3 thugs in NY. 1 just got a 14 month sentence. Another left wing Obama judge. How about the Delaware Marino family who went to cemetery every day to visit their son?s grave? Shot in the head and killed by thug. Has Lebron, Rivers or any other social justice warriors stepped up for them? Has Obama spoke of them? They unlike Floyd and the Kenosha rapist were not felons who were being arrested and told by the police to stand down and refused. Their lives matter too.

You guys can solve all this in a different forum. Moving this.

You racist POS, talking about lynching black people, take that to your KKK site!!!!!

 

[WhatsHisNuts]

This thread is like a Greatest Hits album!

-No distinction between the protesters and the rioters.
-BLM is a racist, terrorist organization
-NBA players are entitled, overpaid pieces of shit
-Focus on the violence in Chicago
-Shut up and dribble, LeBron!
-Nothing is ever good enough for THEM
-The old story of the white person killed by a black man that got a light sentence

AND MANY, MANY MORE!

Why do you think only white people are racist? You think that is correct? I can watch golf everyday, I watch it now everyday. Do you really think that professional sports will be over if a person of color is not playing :lol:
I have always enjoyed NCAA better than Pro sports, I would not miss it one bit!!! Professional sports will not go away, and do you really think a black person would turn down good money because of personal beliefs? No way.................Notice the athletes chirping the most have already made millions and millions JMO

Prejudice is when a person negatively pre-judges another person or group without getting to know the beliefs, thoughts, and feelings behind their words and actions. A person of any racial group can be prejudiced towards a person of any other racial group. There is no power dynamic involved.


Bigotry is stronger than prejudice, a more severe mindset and often accompanied by discriminatory behavior. It?s arrogant and mean-spirited, but requires neither systems nor power to engage in.


Racism is the system that allows the racial group that?s already in power to retain power. Since arriving on U.S. soil white people have used their power to create preferential access to survival rights and resources (housing, education, jobs, voting, citizenship, food, health, legal protection, etc.) for white people while simultaneously impeding people of color?s access to these same rights and resources.Though ?reverse racism? is a term I sometimes hear, it has never existed in America. White people are the only racial group to have ever established and retained power in the United States.

I guess that I am wrong.......only white people can be racists, according to this articles view point. I grew up poor as dirt so I can not believe that I had an advantage over anyone. JMO

WOKE.

Change is hard...but necessary for the advancement of the human race.

There is nothing more vile than a person who holds the color of their skin better than another.

Fine, let's have "change"....Who is going to put together the "plan" for what the "change" is and who determines when the goal has been achieved....I've heard the same thing since I can remember, this isn't anything new.....

Chanting, marching, hating, violence, intimidation, looting, burning, assaults' and killing doesn't seem to be working so well in my eyes....Who are the leaders that are going to step up, devise a plan and execute it...

Living in Maine I probably don't see as much as most...I can tell you one thing for sure, things are a hell of a lot better today than they were back in the 60's & 70's when I was growing up....

The only way change can occur is if "both" sides agree, demanding change will never work. Professional athletes are making things worse by boycotting games. The owners/employers are cowards for allowing them to do so. What would your employer do if every worker said, we are shutting the company down till social changes happen? Do not let the door hit your ass on the way out! Why are these athletes an exception? We also have low level politician's who are cowering down to BLM demands, another mistake..... This mess will end badly. Professional sports may be forever changed, they are over compensated for playing a kids game. A reality check is in order, maybe this is the time for that to happen? 100 million plus contracts are ridiculous!!! These guys do not even comprehend what a real world looks like..........JMO

The plan is for white people to accept all people as their equal. So it starts with all white people everywhere.

and my 60's and 70's was filled love and pot...sharing with ALL people.

We had a good time in my crib.
